The [Voidwalking Manual]…

At first, Raven didn't understand why his Master would give this to him. He understood why he gave him the [Myriad Incarnations Scripture] but as for the former? He didn't really get it. 

It wasn't until he reviewed the memories about the manual that he understood why this technique was a necessity for him to cultivate. 

According the Geezer, Spacetime Laws is broken down into five different concepts, much like how it goes for most laws. These concepts are: Continuum, Parallelism, Individuality, Timeline and Singularity. 

Based on the minimal information that Geezer left him, the first concept of Spacetime Laws - which is Continuum, allows him to sense the very fabrics of Spacetime Void itself. 

The Spacetime Void is a unique existence that is not meant to be casually invaded or tampered due to several reasons, the most important of which is because its too dangerous. The Spacetime Void is what connects the past, present and future. Its very existence is a necessity for all living beings and one wrong move will cause into true annihilation. Anyone who's killed by the Spacetime Void is legitimately erased from existence. None will discover traces of them be it their past, present or future or other planes of reality. 

Unlike the erosion of time, which Raven describes as 'a fearsome and unescapable gale that erodes everything it passes through, taking a piece of their own time in the process.' The erosion of Spacetime Void is much more dangerous. It doesn't only erode time, it erodes a person's very existence in all forms of reality. 

As someone who gained enlightenment about Spacetime Laws, Raven would eventually harness the power to sense this place and quite possibly traverse it. However, even with his qualifications, the amount of time he's allowed to traverse the Spacetime Void would be extremely limited. 

This is where the [Voidwalking Manual] comes into play. With this technique, he'll be able strengthen his body in a unique way that allows him to traverse the Spacetime Void in a more safer terms, it would also allow him to go beyond the regular limits of his travel. Of course, the stronger he cultivates this techniques, the better. At some point, it would even be possible for him to traverse the Spacetime Void long enough to go back in time of his birth. 

Currently, Raven's training at Eden. He's currently submerged in the floating nebula of Equinox Waters while learning the Voidwalking Manual. 

The technique was surprisingly difficult to memorize due to its complicated nature. Actually, he could even tell that anyone who isn't at least a dual cultivator would not be able to cultivate this technique at all. The pre-requisites of the technique are extremely steep and demanding. If it wasn't for Raven possessing Cosmic Energy, he would have to wait a little longer before thinking about cultivating this technique. 

Thanks to his lucky encounters however, Raven passed the initial requirements with flying colors. Now, along with the help of Equinox Waters, he'll be able to charge directly onto the 3rd Stage of Voidwalking Manual, allowing his body to resist the erosion of Spacetime Void longer and securing his safety. 

Cultivating the Voidwalking Manual didn't produce any noticeable changes on Raven's body. In fact, it's effects are hardly visible at all. If Raven didn't tell anyone, no one would realize that he's cultivating it. In fact, not even others who knows Spacetime Laws would notice it. 

Somehow, it took Raven two whole weeks to reach the 3rd Stage of the Voidwalking Manual. Just like what was mentioned earlier, the effects were hardly noticeable but Raven could clearly feel something changed within him. The feeling was exquisite and fleeting, yet its there. The feeling gave him an impression of security. He felt as if, for some reason, he was untouchable. It was quite profound. 

Raven took a brief rest after that. He used two days worth of time to sleep, restoring his mental stability and getting rid of the almost non-existent fatigue on his body. He wasn't exhausted, just being extra careful since the next step of his training is pretty much an uncharted territory. 

After resting, Raven went back into cultivation and the focus of his training was his Spacetime Laws. 

That's right, he finally decided to train it after postponing it for so long. The Crown Space is a safest haven for him. Inside this place, aside from his Senior Disciples, no one else were watching him. He had nothing to hide in this place so he felt safe and secured. And only under this environment did he have the confidence to train his Spacetime Laws. 

He had less than six months to work with but it's not a problem considering that he could crunch tons of progress without missing out on lot of what's happening outside. Once his Spacetime Laws stabilizes, he could do something to hide it from the prying eyes of people thanks to him learning a few new powerful seals. 

Raven adjusted his breathing, he made sure to pour his full concentration for this, he even emptied a whole bottle of Moonshine just to make sure he's being extremely careful. He wasn't also shy and sat down on the largest Stargazing Mat within Eden. He wasn't holding back in the slightest. 

The moment Raven sat down, his breathing hitched and he entered the wonderful state of enlightenment. With so many concentration enhancing supplements as well as the sheer focus that he had, it wasn't far fetched for him to enter this state as soon as he started his training. 

At the same time he started, Raven was then covered with numerous gray tendrils which looked real and unreal at the same time. There was a specific force field that appeared around Raven, and everything within that force field was sharing the same characteristics as the tendrils appearing all around him. 

Raven wasn't actively thinking about anything. He's just letting everything happen as if he was just a bored observer. It was unknown when but the violet-golden glow of his Champion's Physique suddenly appeared. The numerous miniature law-diagrams appeared on his body, each of them released their own glow as well further intensifying the light coming off of Raven's body. 

Currently, due to Raven's enlightenment state, the number of these miniature law-diagrams were increasing. It had to be known that Raven already has too much of these due to his accumulations for his Destruction Laws. However right now, he's getting more due to him gaining enlightenment for Spacetime Laws. 

With subsequent trainings and more opportunities, these miniature law-diagrams would dissipate on his blood streams and turn into the purest form of enlightenment, allowing him to learn more uses and applications for his Spacetime and Destruction Laws in the future. 

His state of enlightenment lasted for a couple of hours when all of a sudden, wormholes started appearing around him. These wormholes were just miniscule in sizes, it's wasn't even as big as his fist, nevertheless they're there. 

These wormholes are in fact, the entrance to enter the Spacetime Void. A couple hours from his meditation and Raven was already capable enough to summon them, they might not be big enough right now but as his expertise continue rising, it wouldn't take long for him to get into that stage. 

'Continuum. Mysteriously profound. It's a connection to the trinity of realities: Past, Present and Future. With it, the possibility to traverse the plane of realities becomes real. I'll be stuck as an observer for now, but as I get better at using it, I could potentially interact with any plane of reality, which in turn allows me to effectively alter the original course of my own fate.'

'It's legit heaven-defying. If Master Geezer didn't lend me a hand, I'll be killed by the Heavenly Laws because of this. It's capable of altering one's destiny, that's quite frightening. It wouldn't be surprising if I receive some sort of backlash if I ever do alter something since if I don't, then I'm afraid that I alone would topple the balance of everything.'

'I have to be responsible with how I use this power. I assume that the bigger the event I alter, the stronger the backlash too. The heavens would legitimately kill me if I mess around too much. That being said, I should be fine so long as I don't do anything huge.'

'Wait, wouldn't this technically mean I'm immortal? I mean, I could always go to the past and warn myself about the incoming danger right? And since myself is warning me, then there's no reason for me to not trust it right? Wouldn't that allow me to pick my fights better? Wait, that's boring isn't it? Nah, that's probably not the case.'

'Well, I'll figure something out I guess. But I should really hold myself back from abusing this. I wouldn't want the Heavenly Laws to be hot on my trails just because I messed around with the plane of realities too much. Although Master Geezer told me that I'm hidden from their eyes, it couldn't possibly last forever nor it could hide me from everything. I should still be careful.'

'But really, this is just the first concept and it's already this powerful.. No wonder Master Geezer said that my survivability would be more secured once I learned Spacetime Laws properly.'
